Chapter 407: Make Alliances
Translated by Jouissance of Exiled Rebels Scanlations
All three of them, even Ling Xiao, fell silent.
SheQiu’s voice rang out again, probably because he didn’t hear a reply, this ti sounding a little uncertain.
You XiaoMo’s cheeks kept twitching and paused for a mont before saying with a slightly trembling voice, “I know.”
SheQiu was extrely confused. “You know?”
This was the first ti they contacted each other down here. How could their master already know? Did Ling Xiao tell him? It didn’t seem very possible there were people!
You XiaoMo said, “Because we’re currently at the bottom of the very well you speak of.”
SheQiu: “...”
Since they didn’t have very much ti to explain, Ling Xiao had SheQiu and company wait above for them to co up. Though SheQiu and the others desperately wanted to know why, they could only hold it in for now. Ling Xiao put the Transmitter Stone away, but then saw You XiaoMo taking out a large bucket and three water ladles and couldn’t help but ask, “What are you doing with that?”
You XiaoMo paused in confusion. “Weren’t we going to pack away so of the mud in the bottom of the well?”
Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow and asked, “When did I say that?”
You XiaoMo faltered. All this well had was the mud beneath them, exactly like the first one. That was why he had thought this way. “Otherwise there wouldn’t be an Earth Elental Essence here!”
Ling Xiao mildly said, “There’s no value in bringing back this mud. The Earth Elental Essence is, in fact, hiding in the mud like the tal Elental Essence. I’m going to force it out with fire. You go up first.”
You XiaoMo had PiQiu take him into the air. He wanted to watch.
Ling Xiao didn’t chase him away. After they flew into the air, he also followed. Then, he snapped his fingers and a purple-red fla appeared above his fingers.
The temperature at the bottom of the well imdiately shot up, even more overwhelming than the hottest sumr.
As Ling Xiao flicked his hand, the flas made a circle through the air, growing larger and larger, like a roaring fire dragon. The mont it touched the mud, the mud began to burn.
The flas lit the well up like daylight, the light tinting their faces with red.
As the flas cooked the mud, it slowly began to change, lting like chocolate. The mud that was at the bottom of the well seed to contract for a mont before rapidly shrinking into a ball.
Just as You XiaoMo was thinking that the mud would lt into a puddle of sticky liquid, a muddy brown colored light emitted from the mud, as if trying to defend itself against the flas.
However, it was a futile struggle. The muddy yellow light slowly faded, then, as if knowing it couldn’t win, the light disappeared. Not long later, a muddy yellow ball of light word out of the mud and shot towards Ling Xiao with incredible speed.
Ling Xiao didn’t even blink, flicking his fingers and encircling the light with even more flas.
You XiaoMo’s eyes widened. He could almost see the desperate expression of the Earth Elental Essence, continuously trying to charge out from the flas, yet getting forced back ti and ti again.
He rembered that back when they caught the Wood Elental Essence at Boundless Sea, it didn’t struggle like the Earth Elental Essence. It could be seen that the Earth Elental Essence had long since gained a spiritual awareness and it’s own intelligence.
In the end, the defeated Earth Elental Essence still fell into Ling Xiao’s hands.
Ling Xiao put it into a rather large jade vial and then put the vial into his pocket dinsion.
After getting this last treasure, it was naturally ti to leave. That was when Ling Xiao’s transmitter stone suddenly began to glow.
It wasn’t normal for it to glow now. Ling Xiao suddenly raised his head.
A thunderous rumbling sounded.
The entire well began to vibrate. This wasn’t their doing. It ca from above, as if the well was being blasted open.
“Ouch!” You XiaoMo suddenly grabbed his head. A stone had fallen down and hit him on the head before falling to the bottom of the well and being consud by the flas.
That was when SheQiu and the others spoke up in anxiety.
“Master, Boss, a bunch of people are coming this way. Hurry and co out, or else you’ll be found.”
“You guys leave first. If we are split up, then find an exit, leave and wait for us outside.”
After saying this, Ling Xiao imdiately grabbed You XiaoMo, rapidly flying upwards. At the sa ti, he put PiQiu and the tal Swallowing Beast into his pocket dinsion. They wouldn’t be of much use right now, and if the Vermillion Blood Clan and the others saw the tal Swallowing Beast, they would be suspected of taking the tal Elental Essence.
In order to not drag them down, You XiaoMo thought for a mont and said, “Put inside your dinsion as well.”
The situation was very clear to him. Ling Xiao’s should be stronger than those powerhouses from the Vermillion Blood Clan and the Mage Guild, but having to face all those people alone would be harder with him there, otherwise, Ling Xiao would still have to split his attention to make sure You XiaoMo was safe. Plus, SheQiu and the others should be up there still.
“You sure?” Ling Xiao looked down at him.
You XiaoMo replied with certainty, “Very sure.”
“Alright then...”
At the sa ti, the situation above the well was chaotic.
As Qiao WuShuang had thought, the others must’ve also realized that the Eye of Golden Earth was here.
So, when they realized they couldn’t obtain the Eye of the Sun and tal Swallowing Beast, they all set their sights on the Eye of Golden Earth. When one of them found the Eye of Golden Earth, the others imdiately ca over upon getting the news.
SheQiu and LanQiu didn’t dare fight these people.
That was because there were quite a few who were stronger than them. If they really did fight, they definitely wouldn’t win. Instead, they’d simply beco a target for everyone. So, it was better if they just hid.
However, the well could only fit four people at a ti. No one was willing to let anyone else go in first so they began to fight at this disagreent. The fighting was very intense. So people even wanted to enter the well while everyone was distracted, but they were noticed anyways.
It was only after around half an hour when Qiao WuShuang and the others finally arrived that the situation was finally under control. Since Qiao WuShuang and the others were here, how would anyone else get a chance at the Earth Elental Essence?
He hadn’t thought so many people would’ve realized. Qiao WuShuang gave an discrete sigh. Seems like these people probably realized that they had no chance at the tal Elental Essence and tal Swallowing Beast, so they found this place by coincidence when looking for other treasures.
“How co the well is sealed? Did soone take it already?”
You Ming imdiately pushed aside the people blocking his way and, upon seeing the state of the well, cast a deadly glare at the other people.
You QingShan ca up to him. “Old Ming. The entrance of the well was probably destroyed in the fight. If soone had already taken it, no one would be so calm right now.”
You Ming let out a soft breath of relief before walking over.
“You Ming, aren’t you a little too impatient. Do you take us for corpses?” Seeing You Ming’s impatient act, HuangFu Li mocked him.
“That’s right. You aren’t the only one who wants the Earth Elental Essence.” Xiong Xiao stepped forwards, displaying his own determination.
Though the people from the Mage Guild didn’t speak, they definitely had the sa thought.
However, there was only one Elental Essence, yet all four groups wanted it. It would be a challenging problem to split it.
You Ming’s expression cooled. He had always known that taking the Elental Essence under their watch wouldn’t be easy, but it wasn’t impossible. Thinking of this, he imdiately turned to the Mage Guild’s Qi Huang and said, “Brother Qi, if the Mage Guild helps us, I will promise you one favor in the na of the Vermillion Blood Clan.”
Qi Hang’s eyes flashed with consideration, but then began to hesitate again. He didn’t want to give up the Elental Essence. This was a legendary treasure, swapping it in exchange for one favor seed like an unequal exchange.
“Master Qi Hang. In reality, the Elental Essence isn’t very useful for the Mage Guild, I trust you know so as well. Plus, with so many people here, the Elental Essence won’t necessarily fall into your hands at the end. Why not help us? No matter how this ends, it won’t be a loss for you.”
The person to speak was You QingShan.
Qi Hang knew that they were right and gritted his teeth, saying, “Alright, I accept.”
You Ming and You QingShan were delighted.
On the other side, Xiong Xiao and Qiao WuShuang glanced at each other. If the Vermillion Blood Clan and Mage Guild worked together, then they would have to cooperate with each other, too. As for who the Earth Elental Essence would go to in the end, it wouldn’t be too late to discuss this afterwards. After all, the Cang Alliance and Beast Transfiguration Guild had quite good relations.
A war was about to start.
That was when an ominous looking man walked out of the crowd. Seeing the four powers that had co to an agreent, he spoke up in a low tone. “I think you might be forgetting that I’m here, too.”
Seeing the man, You Ming scowled. This middle aged man was Nan Zhan, the leader of a very infamous group of bandits in the Southern Continent, known as Vicious Wolf. He wasn’t a person to get on the bad side of. They hadn’t expected that he would co, too.
